Chapter 62: Black Market Purchases
Because he was still outside, he was afraid of being accidentally heard, so Sheng Manjiang ambiguously replaced it with a place you wanted to go, but this was very ambiguous, and the captain keenly threw a death ray at him.
What to say! What to say! What at night!
Sheng Manjiang raised his eyebrows and pretended to be innocent, nothing.
"Alas!"
The captain glared at Qin Yan, who was not angry, and left with a sad face, men can't get used to it, Qin Yan doesn't understand it or not! How can you listen to everything full of rivers!
Qin Yan: ???
She's glared at again? What did she do wrong? The second monk Qin Yanzhang was confused, more wronged than Dou E, and finally could only go home stupidly.
"I suspect the captain is targeting me, I have proof."
"I think so."
Sheng Manjiang echoed solemnly, Qin Yan smiled and went back side by side with him.
Today's bet was finally won by Sheng Manjiang, he had a slight advantage, so he won a chance to make a condition, he decided to find a satisfactory gift in the black market tonight, give it to Qin Yan, and then show his heart, he couldn't wait for a moment.
At half past one in the morning, Sheng Manjiang gently knocked on Qin Yan's window, Qin Yan didn't seem to be asleep, lifted the quilt and jumped up, she quickly walked to the window and whispered.
"Got it, you wait for me."
Her wait was really just a moment, but in three minutes, she had already cleaned up and crept out.
"I'm alright, let's go."
She took a thin scarf to slightly block her face, this scarf is very good, it can not only block the wind, but also block the face, so that no one can see her face, only showing a pair of eyes, and the camouflage is very good.
Sheng Manjiang looked at her rather exotic outfit, only hooked his lips slightly, and didn't say anything.
"Hmm."
He walked intimately to Qin Yan and showed her the way, the two of them were afraid of alarming the rest of the village, so they didn't talk much all the way, and walked for more than an hour, and when they arrived in the town, Qin Yan relaxed a little and asked him curiously.
"Where's the black market here?"
"Just walk in the road next to the supply and marketing cooperative, and you can get there by turning two corners."
Obediently, the most dangerous place is the safest place? Qin Yan raised his eyebrows, then turned around twice in the alley, and entered a slightly larger alley, in the dim alley, there were people standing on both sides, quietly, everyone gestured with gestures, and anyone who came in could get the attention of a group of people.
Qin Yan and Sheng Manjiang were no exception, everyone looked at the two of them, found that they were safe, and retracted their gaze again.
Qin Yan walked up to an aunt and found that there were a few boxes of mosquito coils in her basket, she was immediately overjoyed, the weather began to heat up, mosquitoes also had a tendency to appear, and occasionally one or two would buzz to her ears when she was sleeping, annoying, but she couldn't hit it!
"I'm going to buy this!"
She pulled Sheng Manjiang, whispered to him, and pointed to the mosquito coil in the aunt's basket, and the aunt understood and compared five fingers. A box of five cents? In fact, this price is not expensive, mainly because it is unattainable, Qin Yan immediately nodded and bought all three boxes of mosquito coils in the aunt's basket, a total of five.
Sheng Manjiang saw that she wanted to buy daily necessities, so he took the initiative to search for her, and when he saw a seller of toilet paper, he asked in a low voice.
"Do you want to buy this?"
"Buy!"
Qin Yan nodded without hesitation, and wrapped the ten rolls of paper again, as we all know, girls are really paper-consuming, she no longer has a ticket to buy it in the supply and marketing cooperative, it is better to spend money to buy it.
Then she bought a few boxes of matches, a few toothbrushes, and a few bags of laundry detergent, all of which she used a lot. After all these daily necessities were purchased, she began to look at other things.
"How about I buy a thermos for the captain? Does the captain have a thermos at home? But even if there is, it's more convenient to have one. ”
Qin Yan saw someone holding a red festive thermos, she immediately took a fancy to it, and asked Sheng Manjiang in a low voice.
"You don't need to buy this, the captain will definitely not accept such a large item."
Sheng Manjiang said firmly, the thermos bottle in this era is relatively expensive, one costs three or four yuan, and it costs a ticket, and it costs at least six yuan to buy it on the black market, which is too much, and the captain will not accept it.
"What to buy, do you have any suggestions? Or do you just buy food? ”
Qin Yan wanted to buy something practical for the captain and Aunt Jinhua, which would not waste it but also improve their lives.
"It's not good to eat."
Sheng Manjiang pondered for a moment and shook his head.
"It's better to buy an enamel bowl, I remember that the captain's drinking bowl has a small opening, it is also practical to buy this, and it is cheap, if you think it is not enough, you can also buy a horn comb for Aunt Jinhua, and only half of the girl's comb is still in use."
He often went to the captain's house, observed carefully, and quickly gave two particularly good suggestions. After listening to this, Qin Yan happily adopted it.
"Listen to you!"
Qin Yan went to buy an enamel bowl and a horn comb, which cost a total of three cents and five cents, the enamel bowl is ordinary, and the appearance is not good, but the capacity is large enough, and the quality is good enough, and it is resistant to falling. The horn comb is more beautiful, it feels like a real horn, it is very thick, the texture is good, it is not static electricity to comb the hair, and it is not easy to knot, which is very suitable for girls.
The daily necessities and thank-you gifts for the captain's family were all purchased, Qin Yan concentrated on looking for fabrics and Suzhou embroidery tools, needlework and thread were easy to buy, but professional embroidery sheds, stools and tripods were not easy to find, sure enough, she searched all over the black market, but full of rivers, as if she had found a treasure, strode over.
It turned out to be a man holding a piece of cloth over, apricot-colored, slightly revealing a little goose yellow, and it looked gentle and moving in the dim light, not only Sheng Manjiang was tempted, but others also hugged excitedly, and shouted in a suppressed voice.
"How much is a foot of this cloth, I want six feet!"
"I want eight feet!"
It's rare to see such a good-looking fabric, buy a piece and go back to make a dress for the daughter-in-law and daughter at home, and keep it for relatives or when you get married.
Qin Yan was suddenly squeezed to the back by the crowd, she didn't even see the true face of the cloth, so she could only stand in the corner in a daze.
"What kind of cloth, it's so lethal!"
She was all moved and wanted to buy some too. But it's a pity that she can't squeeze these people, so she can only honestly wait for Sheng Manjiang here. A piece of cloth was no more than forty feet, and it was divided among everyone in a short time. Sheng Manjiang was holding an eight-foot cloth, and the tall figure was gradually approaching, he stared at Qin Yan and said in a low voice.
"I've grabbed all of these, I'll give them to you."
"Qin Yan, I like you, I want to deal with you, if you can, I hope you can give me a chance to be good to you, I won't force you like Chen Jianping, you can think slowly."
"In the future, it will be the same as now, I will help you do the work, I will help you cook the food, I can also help you wash the clothes, as long as you want, I can do anything."
